1992 Map of Alpine Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Antelope Valley is dominated by the prominent elevation of Alpine Butte and the adjacent Rocky Buttes, which rise sharply above a grid of surveyed rural sections. In the early 1990s, this area reflects the outward expansion of neighboring desert communities, with the Lancaster Corporate Boundary and Palmdale Corporate Boundary cutting across the sagebrush and scrub. The transition from remote desert to municipal management is evident in the transition from open range to the strictly named grid of thoroughfares like Avenue G and Avenue J. Water management is a central theme of the landscape, marked by numerous water wells and the ephemeral channel of Rock Creek. Landmarks such as the Alpine RS and a Radio Facility denote the technical and navigational utility of these desert heights.
